Publisher's Synopsis
""Lucretia Mott 1793-1880"" is a biographical book written by John Greenleaf Whittier. The book tells the story of Lucretia Mott, an American Quaker, abolitionist, and women's rights activist who lived from 1793 to 1880. Mott was a leading figure in the women's suffrage movement and played a key role in organizing the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848, which is considered to be the birthplace of the women's rights movement in the United States. Whittier's book provides a detailed account of Mott's life, including her early years in Nantucket, Massachusetts, her marriage to fellow Quaker James Mott, and her involvement in the anti-slavery and women's rights movements. The book also explores Mott's religious beliefs, her advocacy for pacifism and social justice, and her relationships with other important figures of the time, such as Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Overall, ""Lucretia Mott 1793-1880"" is a comprehensive and inspiring account of one of the most important figures in American history, whose legacy continues to inspire social justice activists to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
